Their own corrupt Church it is not possible that they should ever re-instate; but give them the ground for which they are now contending, and it is very possible that the well-ordered system under which we have flourished may be most seriously endangered; for it is worthy of especial consideration, that they have for their immediate allies every faction which is banded against the State, every demagogue, every irreligious and every seditious Journalist, every open and every insidious enemy to Monarchy and to Christianity.
